Inspiring beyond belief!

One of the best books of poetry I have read in years. Few books give such joy and strength. My favorite poem is called Celebrities I Have Seen Off Stage, which is very funny and also a powerful read on observing people better. The love poems are striking, including the one for president Bush, which will make you scream with delight by the end. There's a crazy edge to this book that rubs off on you. C.A. Conrad has this to say to us, "The only - failure - is no - love" And the science fiction giant Samuel Delany loves it which is good enough for me. "With a clarity of language that makes the bones sing, they sneak past our defenses and do things, directly, surprisingly, irreparably, to us."--Samuel Delany
